George Bush just got into the prison business.....

[Joanne98]

In human language what this announcement saz is that the Federal Bureau of Prisons has just sub-contracted some prisoners to CCA. Included in the contract is the renovation of an existing site in TEXAS to the tune of 20 million dollars.
The contract, awarded as part of the Criminal Alien Requirement Phase 6 Solicitation ("CAR 6"), becomes effective May 1, 2007 . I have no idea what CAR 6 is but it doesn't sound good. I wonder WHO will get the contract for the 20 mil renovation? Haliburton maybe? Anyway what this announcement means is that the prison industrial complex moves forward thru a new sneaky trick (public and private partnership) the dreaded PPP, which is the very definition of FASCISM. It this isn't stopped pretty soon, they will be making so much money that it will be impossible to take apart.

Corrections Corporation of America Announces Contract Award With Federal Bureau of Prisons
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 19, 2007 -- Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CXW), the nation's largest provider of corrections management services to government agencies, announced that it has received a contract award from the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") to house up to 1,558 federal inmates at the Company's Eden Detention Center in Eden, Texas.

The Company currently houses approximately 1,300 BOP inmates at the Eden facility, under an existing Inter-Governmental Services Agreement ("IGSA") between the BOP and the City of Eden. The award was pursuant to a Request for Proposal ("RFP") for approximately 7,000 beds that were contracted under four IGSA's, including the Company's Eden Detention Center.

The contract requires a renovation of the Eden facility, which will result in an additional 129 beds. Upon completion, the Eden facility will have a rated capacity of 1,354 beds. Renovation of the Eden facility is expected to be completed in February 2008 at an estimated cost of $20.1 million.

The contract, awarded as part of the Criminal Alien Requirement Phase 6 Solicitation ("CAR 6"), becomes effective May 1, 2007 and has an initial four-year term with three two-year renewal options. Under the new CAR 6 contract, the Company will receive a fixed monthly payment based on a guaranteed population equal to 90% of the current rated capacity and a per diem payment for each additional inmate thereafter. Following completion of the renovation, the fixed monthly payment will be adjusted to 90% of the new rated capacity beds and a per diem payment for each additional inmate thereafter. Under the provisions of the award, the Company could earn revenues of up to approximately $119.6 million during the initial four-year term of the contract.

The Company intends to provide earnings guidance for the first quarter and full-year 2007 in its fourth quarter 2006 earnings press release on February 8, 2007.

"We are pleased that the Federal Bureau of Prisons, one of the Company's largest and long-standing customers, continues to place confidence in CCA and is expanding its existing relationship with CCA," stated John Ferguson, President and CEO. "We believe our commitment to providing consistent quality service was an important factor in obtaining this award."

About CCA

The Company is the nation's largest owner and operator of privatized correctional and detention facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States, behind only the federal government and three states. The Company currently operates 64 facilities, including 40 company-owned facilities, with a total design capacity of approximately 72,000 beds in 19 states and the District of Columbia. The Company specializes in owning, operating and managing prisons and other correctional facilities and providing inmate residential and prisoner transportation services for governmental agencies. In addition to providing the fundamental residential services relating to inmates, the Company's facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, religious services, life skills and employment training and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to reduce recidivism and to prepare inmates for their successful re-entry into society upon their release. The Company also provides health care (including medical, dental and psychiatric services), food services and work and recreational programs.

1. Surprise, surprise.

People have been aware of the military industrial complex since WWII. However, many people are still unaware of the prison industrial complex, which involves the "tough on crime" political stance, mandatory minimum sentencing and the use of inmates as slave labor for corporate interests as well as the multi-million dollar prison construction racket.

[Joanne98]

4. If you read the history of how the pentagon entrenched itself...

they made sure to build weapon plants in each state so congress critters couldn't vote against them without losing jobs in their districts. Prisons and jails are EVERYWHERE. It's critical that this be stopped early or the same thing will happen. They are making prisoners a COMMODITY. How evil is that?

[porphyrian]

9. Exactly. The non-poor, non-minority population is still not completely aware of it, though.

People need to be educated before half the nation is imprisoned to provide corporations with slave labor.

[Joanne98]

15. True. The bastards will lock up half the country for profit...

I wonder what the christians have to say about this. They're probably trying to get a piece of the action.

[porphyrian]

21. Plenty of people find Jesus in prison, so I'm sure they're for it.

Twisted logic, but it's there.

[Joanne98]

23. They find Allah too. This may well backfire on their asses!

[porphyrian]

24. Yeah, that's the other half. Scary. - n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Hopefully, with a little bit of luck, George Bush will be able to try out

one of those facilities, for a very long time.

[porphyrian]

20. Oh, that would be so sweet. - n/t

[midnight]

34. Wouldn't that be the best poetic justice to hit the country in 50

years.

[Octafish]

2. If you like Gitmo, you're going to LOVE Gulag Amerika.

The un-American dictator wants to do here what he's done overseas, establish a ready-to-go prison system for locking up those who oppose him.

Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs'

By Nat Parry
February 21, 2006

Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration’s domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.

“The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements,” Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6.

“I stand by this President’s ability, inherent to being Commander in Chief, to find out about Fifth Column movements, and I don’t think you need a warrant to do that,” Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat.

“Senator,” a smiling Gonzales responded, “the President already said we’d be happy to listen to your ideas.”

In less paranoid times, Graham’s comments might be viewed by many Americans as a Republican trying to have it both ways – ingratiating himself to an administration of his own party while seeking some credit from Washington centrists for suggesting Congress should have at least a tiny say in how Bush runs the War on Terror.

But recent developments suggest that the Bush administration may already be contemplating what to do with Americans who are deemed insufficiently loyal or who disseminate information that may be considered helpful to the enemy.

Top U.S. officials have cited the need to challenge news that undercuts Bush’s actions as a key front in defeating the terrorists, who are aided by “news informers” in the words of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. (For details, see Consortiumnews.com “Upside-Down Media” or below.)

Detention Centers

Plus, there was that curious development in January when the Army Corps of Engineers awarded Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root a $385 million contract to construct detention centers somewhere in the United States, to deal with “an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs,” KBR said.

3. Privatized prisons....

This concept, which I first learned about about 20 years ago, as always been a major annoyance to me. The state, and only the state, can deny citizens their rights and imprison them. Having corporations take this over, one of the most important responsibilities of the state, is unconscionable and I see nothing good coming from it.

Giving private enterprise more involvement in the imprisonment of American citizens should not be tolerated!

[Joanne98]

5. I agree. It's becoming one of my pet peeves...

[peacebird]

6. did the three strikes law coincide with privatizing prisons by any chance?

This is pure speculation - but could the mandatory sentencing laws have been less about law enforcement and more about maximizing profits for the private prisons?

[Joanne98]

8. Maybe . Or they just saw three strikes as an "opportunity"

Like they see everything else. Everytime I see Pauly Klass's father on TV I feel like kicking him. I wonder if he has any idea the evil he unleased.

[southern_belle]

17. Mark Klaas?

What do you mean about Mark Klaas unleashing evil. :think: :shrug: :hi:

[Joanne98]

22. He's the one who started "three strikes" in California.

It was only supposed to be for child molestors but it got expanded to everybody. Now we have petty criminals doing life for things like stealing a candy bar. Klaas was warned too, that this would happen but he didn't care. I wonder what's in Klaas's portfolio. Someone should check his tax returns. Fucker.

[southern_belle]

30. Oh, o.k., I understand now.

Thanks for your prompt reply, Joanne98. :hi:

[mrcheerful]

10. The state run prison is also in on the scam.

They get federal dollars for each prisoner in state run GED classes And its up to prisoners to prove they graduated high school or they are forced into GED classes, even if they have BA's, masters or other high education degrees. Most prison uniforms are made by prisoners, the prisoner is paid $53 dollars a month. Some states put out state license plates, paying prisoners very little for the work, then selling the product to the public and pass it off as teaching the prisoners a skilled trade. Where will the prisoner be able to use these "skills"? Private run prisons were a repukelican wet dream for a very long time, the way things are going prisons will become the next work houses for the poor and thats why they are being privatized under the illusion of keeping bad people away from good people.

[Joanne98]

14. Why do I get the feeling Neil Bush's "testing software" is involved?

The No Prisoner Left Behind Act.

[Joanne98]

7. Here's another Texas contract for Cornell....

20 million renovation for the existing Big Springs site. Cornell saz it will earn 268.8 million in revenue over the four year base of the contract. DOING WHAT? How do you make that much money housing prisoners? This is BULL SHIT! This is also under the Criminal Alien Requirement Act (CAR 6) What does this mean. Are all the prisoners illegal aliens?

Cornell Awarded Contract From Federal Bureau of Prisons
Big Spring Correctional Center Receives CAR-6 Procurement Award
HOUSTON, Jan. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- Cornell Companies, Inc. (NYSE:CRN) was awarded a contract from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for the existing Big Spring Correctional Center. The contract, effective April 1, 2007, provides for an initial term of four years, with three two-year renewal option periods. The facility currently houses as many as 2,900 inmates for the BOP. Under the new contract, the Big Spring facility will expand to potentially house as many as 3,500 inmates. Expansion-related construction, estimated at approximately $20.0 million, is expected to take up to nine months to complete. The company estimates it will earn $268.8 million in revenues over the four-year base term of the contract.


In 2006, the BOP issued the Criminal Alien Requirement VI (CAR-6) procurement, aiming to replace four existing intergovernmental service agreements in West Texas with direct contracts, including the contract under which Cornell currently manages its facility in Big Spring, Texas.

James E. Hyman, Cornell's chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "We couldn't be more pleased with the BOP's decision to continue our long-standing relationship at the Big Spring Correctional Center. This is wonderful news for both us and the City of Big Spring, whom we view as a key component of our success at the facility. Our employees and management team remain committed to delivering quality services in an expanded capacity for the BOP."

11. Had my hopes up there with that subject line until I got to the word "business." n/t

[Joanne98]

12. I found CAR 2 and it is for housing illegal aliens...

Why don't they just deport them back to their home countries, instead of keeping them locked up here so they can make a PROFIT off their bodies. I have a strong feeling that the TAXPAYER isn't going to be happy about this.

stay rich. First Company A wins the contract through a corrupted bidding process. Then 'A' builds the thing on the cheap. With help from the U.S. Congress 'A' receives exemptions from codes, standards, and other legal barriers that might put a dent in the profit. 'A' then has it's subsidiaries B
& C, or another company 'CBA' in which it is a large share-holder do every task imaginable to maintain said facilities..from basic needs of prisoners to the more intricate cooking of the books. In the meantime still other connected corporations get their labor on the cheap.

This is designed to familiarize you with UNICOR and what we have to offer. An easy topic/response format was developed to help answer the most frequently asked questions about UNICOR products and services. We’ve enhanced the standard FSC section and made it more user-friendly. UNICOR products are listed as a numbered series and as an alphabetical listing with accompanying FSC numbers. The alphabetical listing also identifies products for which UNICOR is the mandatory source, products that UNICOR offers on the competitive market, and products that are offered in the Quickship program.

41. Oh my....this story just reeks of potential irony...n/t

47. Joanne98, some of US have been constantly saying there was a coup of sorts

that installed this administration-we did everything to educate, raise awareness, and prevent what is now just about totalitarian here in BFEE's HOMELAND (tm) which is my country and still called The United States of America but no longer a Constitutional representative elected democracy. It is a new form of tyranny that appears to have been heavily influenced by 20th century fascism-particularly the Third Reich of NAZI Germany which, as some of US have repeatedly documented, has many actual political, financial, ideological and other connections to the Decider's criminal administration.

Those of US that continue to seek and speak the truth about this fact-that the nation that we all love, that allowed US-through our elected officials to alter amend or even abolish the "piece of paper" that established and guided our nation's experiment in democracy, that once attracted so much of the world to emulate it with varying degrees of success, that once put US as a leader in hope and a beacon of possibility for people seeking change from what we now have seen happen before our eyes since December 12, 2000-well, we are already in a privatized prison of a corporate military empire elite with global ambitions dominated by religious fanatics that speak about good but do evil.

As a Christian I believe very differently in the spiritual messages and proclamations CRIMINALLY emanating from the WH, the Pentagon and elsewhere (btw theocracy is unconstitutional yet another feature of HOMELAND {TM}) that if God put George Walker Bush into the White House by the politically corrupted methods so many of US (regardless of spiritual belief and faith or absence of same) have spoke about and against then God put the Decider there to punish the nation and the world-certainly not to sanctify the BFEE.

Many of those we "elected" in such a way as to guarantee a change to Democratic Party leadership in Washington within a compromised, corrupted voting process appear non-responsive to our basic message given them November 7th, 2006.

HOMELAND(tm) is a product of the Bush Family Evil Empire. It is a model of the complete services avilable to potential clients, and welcomes new investors. CCA is part of that.

Before the mid-terms Mr. Bush did extend his "national emergency" declaration for another year and some of US were immediately warning about the implications.

As a citizen I'm politically aware of the history of The United States of America, the origins of structural societal class, race, cultural and gender conflicts and barriers (used to divide US by HOMELAND{tm})-the injustice, the corruption that were confronted in many ways (some good some bad) with various compromises reached. All that remains of that is a cleverly designed perception management program run by the traitors and criminals that have done this to US right before our eyes.

Those of US that perhaps are about to be "corrected" for opposing HOMELAND(tm) will never salute you, bow down or worship your perception managed idols-we know you have the technology, tactics and techniques that can appear to control everything in your evil empire except those of US that speak the truth about it.
